President Serdar Berdimuhamedov has signed a Constitutional Law titled “On the Legal Foundations of the Peace and Trust Policy of Neutral Turkmenistan”, setting out the country’s core principles and objectives in peace-oriented foreign policy.

The law outlines 14 key principles, including:

• neutrality,

• equality,

• respect for human rights and freedoms,

• non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries,

• rejection of force,

• cooperation based on openness and mutual trust.

A prominent feature of the law is the promotion of the philosophy “Dialogue is the Guarantee of Peace”, which is positioned as the cornerstone of Turkmenistan’s international engagement.

Among the 15 main goals of the peace and trust policy are:

• leveraging the nation’s permanent neutrality in global affairs,

• fostering trust-based and transparent relations,

• enhancing regional and global security.

The document emphasizes that human dignity is the highest value in both domestic and international policy.

The legal framework of the policy is based on:

• the Constitution of Turkmenistan,

• UN General Assembly resolutions on Turkmenistan’s neutrality (1995, 2015, 2025),

• and other international legal instruments.
